Secure Transactions

Companion apps for your Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin & other blockchain based cryptocurrencies are included on the Ledger Nano S. Sending & receiving payments have been made a simple process. Now you can check your accounts & manage multiple addresses for each cryptocurrency from one single device. Bring your Ledger Nano S with when you travel, the Ledger Nano S hardware wallet is lightweight & easy to transport.

Check & confirm transactions on the display on the go. Confirm transactions with the two physical buttons (anti-malware second factor) on the Ledger Nano S hardware wallet. The Ledger Nano S generates your recovery phrase offline & displays it to the blue OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) screen, this ensures that the recovery phrase is never on an internet-connected device. It's easy to confirm that the payment about to be sent is for the correct amount & to the correct address.

SECURITY

Your confidential data is never exposed, it is secured inside a strongly isolated environment locked by a PIN code. Even when you use a 4-digit PIN code, that's 10,000 possibilities (from 0000 - 9999). If an intruder enters the PIN code incorrectly three times, the device will erase your data & you will need to restore the Ledger Nano S hardware wallet with your backup.

MULTI-APPS

Extend your Ledger Nano S to also use companion apps, these include wallet & management apps. With wallet apps, you can send & receive payments & include the ledger wallets for bitcoin, ethereum & ripple. The management apps will allow you to authenticate transactions. The management apps consist out of the Ledger Manager app (installing & removing apps from your Ledger Nano S) & the Ledger Authenticator app (Transaction validation from using your smartphone). If this is not sufficient for your usage requirements you can always create your own apps or make use of FIDO® U2F, GPG & SSH.

Your Ledger Nano S uses a recovery sheet to restore its backups, this simplifies the process significantly. When you have another wallet which is BIP39 or BIP44 compatible, you have the option to restore your backup to that wallet. This helps you to keep your assets safe from loss due to hardware failure or theft.
